Kid Quotes
Last night, after Awana, we had come home, and were all in our bed talking with each other. I asked Elijah what he learned about in Cubbies, and this is the conversation that followed.
Elijah: “We learned about God.”
Me, knowing what his lesson was about: “Did you learn about Jesus?”
Elijah: “Jesus IS God.”
Me: “I know. What did Jesus do in your story?”
Elijah: “He went to His father’s house.”
Me: “Was His Father’s house in Heaven?”
Elijah: “Yeah.”
Me: “Who is Jesus’ father?”
Elijah: “I don’t know.”
Me: “God is Jesus’ father.”
Elijah nodded and then it was as if we could see the light bulb go off over his head.
Elijah: “Waaaait a minute. (Speaking slowly and thoughtfully.) If Jesus is God, how can God be Jesus’ father?”
Me: “Chris…”
Chris: “Well, Elijah, God is three people. He is God the Father, He is Jesus, and He is the Holy Spirit, and all of those three people are one Person.”
Elijah: “Oh!” Big grin. “Okay.”
And, that, my friends, is how our three year old was introduced to the Trinity.
